Refuge for one who runs away? (6)
I believe the answer is:
bunker
'refuge' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'one who runs away?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'un' (northern English dialect form of 'one') and 'un' is found within the answer.
'runs' could be 'r' (cricket abbreviation) and 'r' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bunker that I've seen before include "Storage container for coal" , "Underground shelter - golfing hazard" , "Sand trap" , "Golf hazard and fuel storage container" , "Coal store" .)
